  • Publication number: 20250117589
    Abstract: An inverse design system combines a large language model (LLM) with a task-specific optimizer, which includes a search function, a forward model, and a comparator. The LLM adjusts parameters of the optimizer's components in response to a design scenario. Then the optimizer processes the design scenario to produce design candidates. Optionally, the LLM learns from the design candidates in an iterative process. A stochastic predictive modeling system combines an LLM with input distributions and a forward model. The LLM adjusts one or more of the input distributions and/or the forward model in response to a forecast scenario. Then the forward model processes a sampling of the input distributions to produce a forward distribution. Optionally, the LLM informs the sampling process. Optionally, the LLM learns from the forward distribution.

  • Patent number: 11000842
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying titanium dioxide-based photocatalytic coatings to a carrier material without using binders. The invention also relates to the use of a coating. According to the invention, a titanium dioxide suspension together with a carrier liquid is sprayed onto a hot carrier in the form of a fine aerosol so that the carrier liquid flash evaporates and titanium dioxide particles of the titanium dioxide suspension are flash sintered onto the carrier material, water being used as the carrier liquid and the carrier material having a temperature of 150 to 250° C. during spraying. According to the invention, a porous and yet stable layer for a catalyst for an efficient and rapid degradation of pollutants is produced.

  • Patent number: 10055470
    Abstract: A method and system to retrieve data dynamically from one or more datasets are disclosed. The method comprises receiving at least one query in a first query language. Thereafter, splitting the at least one query in the first query language into a plurality of sub-queries and transforming the plurality of sub-queries into one or more second query languages, wherein the one or more second query languages correspond to the one or more datasets. Other embodiments include a method that comprises processing the one or more transformed queries to retrieve one or more query results from the one or more datasets, and processing the one or more query results to generate a data presentation.

  • Patent number: 8874460
    Abstract: Healthcare marketing data may be cleaned and normalized according to data validity and/or data canonicity rules prior to being merged into a healthcare marketing database. The merging process may include a fuzzy de-duplication operation utilizing a configurable field scoring table for automatically identifying matching and non-matching records. Potential duplicates that cannot be automatically resolved may be provided to an operator to provide merge or no-merge instructions.

  • Patent number: 8745413
    Abstract: Personally-identifying, protected health information (“PHI”) is stored in encrypted form in protected data records, and hash values derived from the PHI are stored in associated search records. A healthcare marketer may identify market segments of individuals by querying the search records using hashed query predicates, identifying protected data records based on the search record results, and providing anonymized data-record results to the healthcare marketer. Once a market segment has been anonymously identified, the marketer may cause personalized marketing messages to be generated for individuals in the market-segment without the marketer having been exposed to PHI associated with those individuals.
